Powering Turnouts
Charles wants to hear from anyone with knowledge of powering turnouts and asks:
“Most of my HO Atlas turnouts are controlled by manual throws. I have a short in both of my districts where these turnouts are and I believe the short is related to the turnouts. I have seen a number of diagrams for wiring DCC Friendly turnouts that switch power on the rail when the switch is thrown to but none with manual controlled turnouts. This is a major stumbling block since I have over two dozen manual turnouts (they’re all in easy reach).”
